Description: 1891 – Assembly Hall (originally the AUB Chapel) was built with a $30,000 gift from Albert B. Monroe, son-in-law of Frederick Marquand. It originally served as a place of worship befitting its Protestant architecture. Today its excellent acoustics make this building a favored venue for lectures, celebrations, concerts, and other cultural events. Monroe also provided the original organ and put the chapel equipment in place in time to hold the University’s 1891 Commencement ceremony. Assembly Hall kept its doors open during the Lebanese Civil War and on November 8, 1991 the bomb that wrecked College Hall also damaged Assembly Hall’s red roof tiles and broke the huge windows. Repair work included refurbishing and reupholstering the pews which accommodate 700 people. Over the years, Assembly Hall has been the spiritual, artistic, and cultural hub of the AUB campus. With its colored chapel glass, wooden stage, and majestic hall, it has also served as the premier venue for civic and academic communities to come together and engage with all that the University has to offer.
